Isaiah 31:1-3 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help.(as did king Hezekiah:.2Kings 18:21).and stay on horses and trust in chariots, because they are many and in horsemen, because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek him. Yet he also is wise and will bring evil and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers and against those who help them that work iniquity.(don't be a part of working evil with others). Now the Egyptians are men and not God and their horses flesh and not spirit. When God shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall and he that is holpen.(a past participle of help).shall fall down and they all shall fail together.

Isaiah 31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which his own hands have made unto him for a sin.

Isaiah 32:5 The vile individual shall be no more called liberal.(original 'noble one', one of the so-called.elites), nor the churl said to be bountiful.

The vile ones will no longer be looked up to, but will be known for what they are.

Isaiah 32:6 For the vile individual will speak villany and his heart will work iniquity, to practice.hypocrisy and to utter error.(John 8:44).against God, to make empty the soul of the hungry and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

These are they who care not for the good and are out to lie and deceive others any way they can. these are the satanists.

Isaiah 32:7 The instruments also of the churl are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.

What would one example of this be? And more on the poor:.John 12:8.

Isaiah 32:8 But the liberal.(the truly noble).devises liberal.(generous and helpful things).things and by liberal things shall he stand.

Isaiah 32:9 Rise up you women that are at ease and hear my voice, you careless daughters an give ear to my speech.

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Isaiah 32:17 "And the work.(the application of the Old Testament law was a lot of work and so the people mostly avoided it {Deuteronomy 5:29; Jeremiah 44:16,17}, so this verse here is talking of a time that was then yet to come and that time said before to be coming, is now {*} and it starts with Christ in one's heart:.Isaiah 30:15).of righteousness shall.(word 'shall' is not in original in most places in the Holy Bible, exception Revelation 2:10).be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.(no more anxiety now and eternal life for you for sure:.2Corinthians 1:20)."

Isaiah 32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings.(they'll be secure where they live).and in quiet resting places.

Micah 4:4.

Isaiah 33:1.Woe to you that spoiled and you were not spoiled.(spoiled others, but not the self, example, recommended poisons to others but kept his own self from it).and you who dealt.treacherously with others.(*).When you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled and when you shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.

It eventually all comes back on you. You do reap what you have decided to sow.

Blinded to the future, ordinary consciousness humanity fails to see that he reaps what he has sown and that usually many years later as this automatic law of the multiverse is inexorable. The verse is talking about one who deals in injustice in gaining selfish ambitious designs:.Jeremiah 17:5.

Isaiah 33:5 God is exalted, for he dwells on high.(the verse is metaphorically speaking and saying that God is high consciousness). He has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times and strength of salvation. The fear of the Lord is his treasure.

Isaiah 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

None of can dwell with a devouring fire. It's saying that life in the physical and beyond the physical, will provide what's needed to eventually turn all of us around fomr a hurtful attitude to an exemplary one.

Isaiah 33:15 He that walks righteously.(lives and talks).and speaks uprightly. He that despises the gain of oppressions.(subjugating people for financial gains:.1Timothy 6:5; the birth certificate con, income tax, wars for profit, banks and their compound interest, the covid con, all vaccinations, etc.), that shakes his hands from holding of bribes.(has nothing to do with those attempting to buy his or her influence), that stops his ears from hearing of blood.(some people gorge themselves on horror movies; comprised with.Barnes Notes: don't listen to a proposal to shed blood in doing hurt to someone or to any scheme of violence, robbery or murder, avoid evil:.Isaiah 1:15).and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.(avoids the trap of dabbling with evil, physically and mentally; be good).

Does this mean we shut ourselves away from the evils in the world, to not even know about them. No! To turn from evil, one has to see what evil is:.Isaiah 58:1; Ezekiel 33:1-10; Matthew 26:41; John 7:7. And what evil does is available for knowledge, so that you know what it is and how it works, so you know what to look for in keeping it from corrupting your character.

Isaiah 33:16,17 He shall dwell on high. His place of defence shall be the munitions.(original for 'munitions' is 'strongholds').of rocks. Bread shall be given him. His waters shall be sure. Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty. They shall behold the land that is very far off.

Isaiah 33:24.(closer to the original).And the inhabitant shall not say.(it means, as a way of one's life, where thoughts are on illness and other negatives such as grief, weakness, tiredness {which often is boredom} sore and a wounded attitude) almost constantly; in the spirit of us is perfect health, so, bring what's there into your heart and mind to get well; how?), I am sick.(why not to say 'I am sick'? {Psalms 103:3} and good advice from a doctor to help you), because the people that dwell therein have lifted their iniquity.

Many have lifted from them the weight of the burden of wrongs done, lifted them up to their Creator, up and away.(*).from themselves, got rid of them because they comprehend that the Creator knows how to eradicate faults. They learned how to stop holding onto false concepts like 'I am sick' because the real you is never sick and they have learned how to restore the perfect pattern of themselves or another's pattern that also is in the invisible. But many do get sick who think they are ok with their thoughts, why?.Proverbs 14:12. And we are responsible here too. How? To stop thoughts that are limiting you, grasp the information in the new movie.The Grand Self.and in the award winning.movie.What If? The Movie, by taking notes on the salient points.

Isaiah 34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven; behold, it shall come down upon Idumea.(another name for Esau and his descendants).and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

Isaiah 34:6 The sword of God is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness and with the blood of lambs and goats and with the fat of the kidneys of rams, for God has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them and the bullocks with the bulls and their land shall be soaked with blood and their dust made fat with fatness.

Isaiah 34:13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof and it shall be an habitation of dragons and a court for owls.

Isaiah 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island and the satyr shall cry to his fellow, the screech owl also shall rest there and find for herself a place of rest.

Isaiah 35:1,2 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory and excellency of our God.

Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen the weak hands and steady the feeble knees.

Take heart, God is all for you.

Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance and a recompence. He will come and save you.

Psalms 31:24.

Isaiah 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped..(and this is happening)

Isaiah 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart and the tongue of the dumb sing. For in the wilderness shall waters break out and streams in the desert.

Isaiah 36:1,2 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah.(about Hezekiah:.2Kings 18:1-5; and about his trouble with king Sennacherib), that Sennacherib king of Assyria.(and father of king Nergalsharezer).came up against all the defenced cities of Judah and took them.(took them under his control). And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh.(one of his men).from Lachish.(the city he later vanquished:.2Chronicles 32:9).to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah.(where he, the king of Judah resided).with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.(where clothes were washed).

Isaiah 36:3-17 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. And.Rabshakeh.said unto them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein you trust? I say, say you; but they are but vain words 'I have counsel and strength for war'.(the king told me to go to war against you if you don't comply). Now on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me? Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt.(which pharaoh was this?).to all that trust in him. But if you say to me, We trust in the God, is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and said to Judah and to Jerusalem? You shall worship before this altar?.(the Assyrians figured they couldn't be trusting in the true God because Hezekiah destroyed the high places and altars; the Assyrians assumed that these high places and altars of worship were those the nations of Judah that Hezekiah was king over, had to do with the true God; the Assyrians were wrong).Now therefore give pledges.(money as tribute), I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria.(Rabshakeh was chief of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria's army that had come against Hezekiah).and I will give thee two thousand horses, if you be able on your part to set riders upon them.(an intimidatory.slight). How then will you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? God said unto me, Go up against this land and destroy it.(if we didn't believe God was on our side, do you think we would be here?). Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto your servants in the Syrian language for we understand it and speak not to us in the Jews' language that is heard in the ears of the people that are on the wall. But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Has he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own piss with you? Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language and said, Hear you the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you. Neither let Hezekiah talk you into trusting in God, saying, God will surely deliver us and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. Hearken not to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present.(give us something that shows you are in agreement with us taking over your country).and come out to me and eat you every one of his vine and every one of his fig tree and drink you every one the waters of his own cistern until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

Isaiah 36:18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, God will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

Rabshakeh was saying, 'that's how powerful we the Assyrians are'.

Isaiah 36:19-22 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the Gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the true God should deliver Jerusalem.(where Hezekiah was king at this time).out of my hand? But they held their peace and answered him not a word, for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.(king Hezekiah had earlier told his people not to be responsive to anyone from Assyria). Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household and Shebna the scribe and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

Isaiah 37:1-5 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of God. And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. And they said unto him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy, for the children are come to the birth and there is not strength to bring forth. It may be that God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria.(who at this time was Sennarcherib).his master has sent to reproach the living God and will reprove the words which your God has heard. Wherefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left. So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

Isaiah 37:6,7 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall you say unto your master, God  says, Be not afraid of the words that you have heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold, I will send a blast.(something strong that makes him change his mind).upon him and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 

Isaiah 37:8 So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

Isaiah 37:9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia.(he was also one of the pharaohs of Egypt), He is come forth to make war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

Isaiah 37:10-12 Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly and then how shall you escape so powerful a ruler? Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?

Isaiah 37:13 Where is the king of Hamath and the king of Arphad and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivah?

Sepharvaim was taken by Sargon, king of Assyria:.2Kings 17:24; 18:33-35. It was a double city and received the common name Sepharvaim, 'the two Sipparas' or 'the two booktowns'. The Sippara on the east bank of the Euphrates is now called Abu-Habba and that on the other bank was Accad, the old capital of Sargon I, where he established a great library.

Isaiah 37:14-20 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it and Hezekiah went up unto the house of God and spread it before God. And Hezekiah prayed unto God, saying, O God of Israel, that dwells between the cherubims, you are the God, even you alone of all the kingdoms of the Earth. You have made heaven and Earth. Incline your ear, O God and hear. Open thine eyes, O God and see and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which has sent to reproach the living God. Of a truth, God, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their countries and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods of power, but were simply the work of men's hands.(*), wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.(they finally awoke to the realization that their man made gods were powerless). Now therefore, O great true God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the Earth may know that you are the God, even you only.

Isaiah 37:21-32 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the God of Israel: Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria. This is the word which God has spoken concerning him: The virgin.(JFB Commentary:."implies the city is inviolate"), the daughter of Zion.(people in the city), has despised you and laughed you to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you, whom you have reproached and blasphemed and against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high even against the Holy One of Israel?. By your servants have you reproached God and have said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof and the choice fir trees thereof and I will enter into the height of his border and the forest of his Carmel.(a beautiful verdant area in central Palestine around a mountain, the height of which is 1728 feet). I have digged and drunk water and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it and of ancient times, that I have formed it? Now have I brought it to pass that you should be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded. They were as the grass of the field and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops and as corn blasted.(blown down and lying in the field).before it be grown up. But I know your abode and your going out and your coming in and your rage against me. Because your rage against me and your tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips and I will turn you back by the way by which you came. And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year such as grows of itself and the second year that which springs of the same and in the third year, sow you and reap and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof. And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant and they that escape out of mount Zion. The zeal of God shall do this.

Isaiah 37:33-35 Therefore thus says God concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return and shall not come into this city, said God. For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake and for my servant David's sake.

Isaiah 37:36 Then the angel of God went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand.(2Kings 19:35).and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 

Isaiah 37:37,38 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went and returned and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword and they escaped into the land of Armenia and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

2Kings 19:37.

Isaiah 38:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him and said unto him, Thus says God, Set your house in order. For you shall die and not live.

Isaiah 38:2-4 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto God, And said, Remember now, O God, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word of God to Isaiah, saying,

Isaiah 38:5-8 Go and say to Hezekiah, the God of David your father has heard your prayer and has seen your tears. Behold, I will add unto your days fifteen years. And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria and I will defend this city.(2Kings 19:35). And this shall be a sign unto you from the me, that I will do this thing. Behold, God will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz.(a sundial he used), ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. 

Isaiah 38:9-16 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered of his sickness. I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave. I am deprived of the residue of my years. I said, I shall not see God and in the land of the living I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. Mine age is departed and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have cut off my life like a weaver.(Barnes Notes: The sense is, as a weaver takes his web from the loom by cutting the threads which bind it to the beam and thus loosens it and takes it away, so his life was to be cut off). He will cut me off with pining sickness. From day even to night will you make an end of me. I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones. From day even to night will you make an end of me. Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter. I did mourn as a dove. Mine eyes fail with looking upward. O God, I am oppressed. It undertakes for me.(it's my constsnt thought). What shall I say? He has both spoken unto me and himself has done it. I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. By these things men live and in all these things is the life of my spirit. So will you recover me and make me to live.

Isaiah 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness, but you have in love to my soul delivered me from the pit of corruption, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.(Isaiah 52:14).

Barnes Notes: Instead of health, happiness and prosperity, bitterness engulfs me.

When you felt like this?.(Psalms 88:2-18; 103:12), how far back were any evils you did, cast away from you?

Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you. They that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.

And because of that, God has a plan that we don't stay in that state of existence.

Isaiah 38:19,20 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father to the children shall make known your truth. God was ready to save me, therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of God.

Isaiah 38:21,22 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs and lay it for a plaster upon the boil and he shall recover. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of God?

Isaiah 39:1-5 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon.(a self-proclaimed and soon murdered king, as Babylon at this time was a dependency of Assyria), sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered. And Hezekiah was glad of them and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious ointment and all the house of his armour and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. Then said he, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them. Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of God,

Hezekiah was naive, not comprehending the risk of having showed all his immense wealth to the king of Babylon.

Isaiah 39:6,7 Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says God. And of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall beget, they'll be taken away and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Isaiah 39:8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of God which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

Barnes Notes: Hezekiah expresses submission to the just sentence and purpose of God and gratitude that it should not occur in his days.
